Pinkus Hefe Weizen

Pours a fairly cloudy medium amber-brown. The nose is wheaty with some alcohol and very lightly fruity. The taste is maltier than the southern weizenbiers, actually like a very light pilsener, and has very little of the spicy or fruity notes. It is definitely not like the Bavarian weizenbiers. If you must have certified organic beer, this is not bad. But if you want a great weizenbier buy one of the Bavarians or the Austrian "Edelweiss".

Bottle: Pours pale gold, very hazy, white head. Aroma of hops and vague banana. Wheaty taste, good balance between sweetness and hops. Clears off the palate fast, thin mouthfeel. A wiezen for those who like lagers, but still pretty good.

Hoppy banana nose with a dry wheat grain taste. Light citrus notes mix with a faint honey sweetness. Very light on the palate, refreshing with a mild crisp finsh. Pours cloudy yellow with a thin white head. Could use a bit more crispness and some more carbonation, felt a little dead at times.

Cloudy yellow colour, lasting white head. Mild aroma with hints of lemon. Flavour is light wheat, notes of malt, yeast. Acidious. Watery palate.

Cloudy yellow color with a lasting white head. Aroma is just hints of lemon. Flavour is light wheat, malt and grain with hardly any texture. A little too thin.

How about not a stellar example of a hefe...... that pretty much sums it up. Page 370 of Michael Jackson’s Great Beer Guide and only 287 of 500 Classic Brews to go.

Creamy, citrus, some banana, with alittle nutmeg. Pours a hazy yellow. Mostly citrus and banana, a little hint of cinamon and clove.
